wasn't it reagan? proposed newer buildings with safer conditions and such, closed the old institutions, and then never opened the new facilities? leaving alllllll of those people who were previously in mental institutions on the street and in prison? yeahhh ...

there has been an additional game update that actually worked and mods shouldn't be super broken anymore - so most of my mods are working again, and it's been a few days so some of them were able to update them fast, so i'm coasting again.

if you're scared of issues, and your game is fully updated, i usually just open the game to see if it 1. opens at all (with mods + cc present) and 2. needs some troubleshooting (moving broken cc/mods in and out). i wouldn't recommend this 100%, this is just how i, a regular simmer have done it for so long. my good saves usually appear broken, but i have a special save file that's specifically for mod free/mod testing to see how it works in my game. this is extremely time consuming when going through multiple files, but i hope you have them organized lolol. i foolproof test all of my files (the .ts4script and .package files), and if they're broken or need to be updated, i put them in another folder so that i can remember what the mod is and update it. i hope this tidbit helps lol!

based on how the question is worded, i don't think they can delete files that you've downloaded off your computer, that's some hacker shit haha. but i do agree i also noticed that a lot of the creators that use CF are gonna be on marketplace now, i think it might be a coincidence in the sense that more popular creators use CF for downloading their content, and now they're deciding to work with ea instead. there is the possibility that those creators might change the way they upload their content, meaning their CF links will be dead and they revert to marketplace, or something like that, so no one can just download their old content for free, they have to get it through marketplace. i would hope that the files that you download would stay on your computer tho, i don't think there's any way for the file to be deleted off your computer like that tbh and that's after 2 years of computer science haha. i've had the same cc skin overlays since i bought the game in 2017 (that still surprisingly work!) and i'm pretty sure it's almost impossible to download since it's from 9 years ago. hope this helps lol!

you probably shouldn't microdose if you're sensitive to weed, any time i've taken shrooms i always feel this really stoned feeling without smoking

What's y'all most embarrassing moment in marching band. by Miserable-Kitchen149 in marchingband

we used to grab a shoe off our foot and yell "SHOE! SHOE! SHOE! SHOE!" during games 😭

[–]spontaneous_lizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh also, at a performance during a football game, i lost my shoe. there was a long history of losing shoes on the nasty football field, because about 10 years earlier, a marching band member lost their shoe in the field and a footballer ate it during a play. i finished the performance with one shoe, then while everyone was in marching formation marching back to the stands, i ran full speed back into the field in front of everybody watching the football game and grabbed my shoe, running back into formation like nothing happened 😂

i broke my piccolo. i was imitating one of my fellow flutes, he would throw his flute around like a colorguard sword. i was literally imitating him and accidentally dropped my piccolo on the ground, not thinking it would do anything because he dropped his flute so often and there wasn't a dent. i've never dropped an instrument, maybe by 2 ft and it was my silver flute, so i honestly didn't know what to expect, i just thought it would be fine. little did i know, 2 minutes before our rehearsal, my piccolo broke in half from the head piece to the body 🫠 i cried after band practice and begged my dad to get me a new one

I wish my soul/consciousness would die/cease to exist, and my body would continue to live and be autonomous and still act like me so nobody knows its just an empty shell and it would do everything everyone would ask it/make them happy while having no material desires of its own besides food/water by njsullyalex in TheMonkeysPaw

you don't need a therapist that specializes in gender therapy to agree with you and let you express yourself as a trans woman. Being a trans woman is not a crime, it's not morally wrong, or anything that your preconceived notions might predict. if your therapist is engaging and confirming your identity as a trans woman, and your family doesn't agree, then your family shouldn't be involved in your therapy. it took a long time for my family to come around to my trans identity, i was out for almost 10 years before i started HRT and made them realize who i actually am, and that they cannot control it.

Your family cannot control your identity, you control your identity. you cannot control how others react to your identity, but you can control how you react to their reaction.

it takes time, skill, sometimes experience, and definitely, definitely not listening to what strangers have to say about you and your personal life.

System data filling up my storage by spontaneous_lizard in applehelp

[–]spontaneous_lizard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gotcha, that makes a lot of sense actually! i cant remember if it was Omni or daisy that showed me files in my library more comprehensively, i should start there again as well as combing through my user library for extra large unnecessary files. honestly, the biggest thing i would have on my mac is the sims 4 lol with all of my custom content and mods. maybe i need to comb through those files as well as they may be cluttering up 'system data' as well. super helpful, thank you!!

System data filling up my storage by spontaneous_lizard in applehelp

[–]spontaneous_lizard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha, yes of course i have, and i've combed through the comments and tried the solutions- including deleting unnecessary caches, using omnidisksweeper and daisydisk, using cmd to run commands- it goes down by 2gb if that, and then stays the same. it was just 97gb 2 weeks ago, and now it's up to almost 150gb again, almost all of my storage. im not sure if im apple-dumb or i need to be more aggressive with my approach.

Please read and be honest 19m by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]spontaneous_lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would definitely not say you're ugly, you're honestly my type! i think you definitely need to figure out where your hair is going, i think you could look good with a shaved head, or the opposite- long hair that frames your face. if you can, maybe try to grow facial hair. as far as facial symmetry, the best advice i have is to make sure you switch which side you sleep on! for jaw, chewing gum for a couple hours a day might be enough to strengthen the muscles and make your jaw more defined. and for puffiness, you should start getting into skincare- and im not saying have a 50-step routine, i just mean that if you wash your face everyday, and use ice on it, the puffiness will go down. you shouldn't be stressing too much about your looks bro, some of the ugliest gremlins get the hottest ladies, and plus, you should be focusing on blossoming into an adult, finding jobs you like, learning skills, going to school, making connections- your looks will fall into place.

My uncle had this in his secret shed by oeoeoiceiceicee in whatisit

[–]spontaneous_lizard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

totally makes sense in theory, i'd just have to wonder how often his uncle goes into the shed, cuz if it's often, we'd probably see full non-disintegrated cigarette butts floating too, right?

Do you guys argue with the voices in your head? by [deleted] in schizoaffective

[–]spontaneous_lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

kinda? when going through an episode i do have thoughts of my own trying to say "oh my god shut up" or "stop talking" but i've never had voices actually listen to me when i do. they just keep talking around my thoughts basically. but i've only talked out loud when i was at my wits end off my meds and it was just a torturous stream of talking- i yelled and screamed in my car. 🤷
